Haiti in Africa

If you’ve lived in London this will tickle you. It makes fun of the Toffs for a good cause. It’s also one of the funniest virals I’ve seen in a while.

Last week I gave my lovely readers the opportunity to win a Nespresso Pixie, courtesy of the lovely folk at Ford, www.blacktoplive.co.za and Nespresso of course. Here for all the deets. I was inundated with entries and handed over the top three to the big-wigs to call. The decision was unanimous…

Leigh Crymble, the Nespresso Pixie is yours!

Nicely done Leigh, we hope you enjor your sexy new Pixie.

Business Class From Web Africa

brandslut — Fri, 04 May 2012 10:41:27 +0000

I’ve just had word from one of my sponsors, Web Africa, that they’ve just launched a sexy new business offering set to rival all local internet service providers.

“The Business Uncapped product offers Uncapped ADSL from R299 per month, and now includes, at no extra cost, a .co.za domain, a web hosting package with unlimited traffic and a R400 Google AdWords voucher. In addition, each Business Uncapped subscriber has access to Expert Support in which service queries are handled by only the most experienced call centre agents.”

Nice.

My Winter Watch-list

brandslut — Thu, 03 May 2012 10:58:08 +0000

Having recently become the proud owner of my first home, and my first bond [yikes], I shouldn’t really be spending money on things I don’t absolutely need. This pretty much rules out everything besides a new kitchen and bathroom. But hey, there’s no harm in window shopping…

Sweet little @home squirrel scatter cushion

Meerkats. Squirrels. Obsessed. Found this little guy in @Home on the weekend. They’ve also got a gorgeous moose knit hot water bottle which I can’t find online. Go check it out.

Zara leopard shirt with studded collar

Zara don’t seem to have a South African website yet, but I found this on the global site and I’ve seen it in-store. Covet!

Worshondjie cardigan from Mr. Price

I’m a big fan of worshondjies. I’m also a fan of the word worshondjie. Love this knit from Mr. Price.

: The limited edition Lego Moleskine

Lego has a very special place in my heart. I’m also a Moleskine addict. I must have this.

Hello Winter exhibition at Wolves Cafe in Illovo

Some of my favourites from the Hello Winter exhibition by John Steven and Nicholas Christowitz at the lovely Wolves on Corlett Drive.

Gelish winter reds

Gelish has changed my life. I pay R175 for a soak-off and polish and it lasts around three weeks, sometimes I apply a coat of regular polish in a matching shade to extend the life of my Gelish manicure which starts to grow out. No chips, no breaks, and my nails underneath are stronger than they’ve ever been.

Nissan Juke. Don't judge me.

I reckon this is a Marmite car. You either love it or you hate it. Well, I’m in camp love. I’d like to test drive one of these puppies soon.

The new Woolies flagship super-market at Nicolway, Bryanston

The biggest WW Food Market in the country, complete with butchery, bakery and fish-monger. Working less than 5 minutes from Nicolway is going to prove problematic.

Keep warm this winter y’all. Happy shopping. And stay sexy.

Win a Nespresso Pixie with Ford and the #BlackTopRally

brandslut — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 08:11:26 +0000

This is by far the most epic prize I’ve had the honour of giving away. And what I love about this competition is there’s a good cause at the heart of it all. Ford has hooked up Dale Imerman, Brent Spilkin and Mark Hamburger with a sexy new Ranger to take to the open road with in the Black Top Rally which kicked off yesterday. The boys will be covering 3500 km’s across South Africa in aid of the Missionvale Care Center near the Ford factory in PE, which cares for the local community. For every follow Ford gets on twitter, they’ll donate R50 to Missionvale. Giving couldn’t be easier.

Sponsor Nespresso has also been incredibly generous and donated a slick new Pixie espresso machine to get y’all excited. I’ve decided that this needs to go to a deserving fan. After all, it’s a kick-ass prize and entering should require a little effort. Prove to me that you’re the ultimate coffee sl*t and I’ll make it worth your while by rewarding you with a Pixie. The only hook is you’ll also need to follow Ford on twitter. So. Draw me a picture. Sing me a song. Write me a poem. Make me a video. Anything. Just show me you’re the most deserving coffee sl*t and the prize is yours. Easy peasy lemon squeasy.

: This Bad Boy Could Be Yours!

You’ve got until May 4th, which is when the rally ends, to submit your entries. Competition closes at midnight on the 4th and I’ll announce the winner on Monday the 7th. Please send your submissions to editor@brandslut.co.za or brandslutblog@gmail.com.

Get following. Get creative. Good luck!

A Dramatic Surprise on a Quiet Square

brandslut — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:22:56 +0000

Love this bit of industrial theatre / flash-mob for TNT Belguim who “know drama”. Clearly. 4.5 million views in one day? That’s viral on crack…
